However, this approach was networks that allow to efficiently perform inference on data that not scalable as it scaled linearly with the size of the graph. is associated to a graph structure, such as, e.g., citation networks Defferard et al. [10] extended this approach by using poly- or knowledge graphs. While several variants of GNNs have been proposed, they only consider simple nonlinear activation nomial filters on the frequency components, which can be functions in their layers, such as rectifiers or squashing functions. rewritten directly in the graph domain, avoiding the use of In this paper, we investigate the use of graph convolutional the graph Fourier transform. A further set of modifications networks (GCNs) when combined with more complex activation was proposed by Kipf and Welling [11] (described more in functions, able to adapt from the training data. More specifically, depth in Section II), resulting in a generic graph convolutional we extend the recently proposed kernel activation function, a non-parametric model which can be implemented easily, can be network (GCN). GCN has been successfully applied to several regularized with standard ℓp-norms techniques, and is smooth real-world scenarios, including semi-supervised learning [11], over its entire domain. Our experimental evaluation shows that matrix completion [12], program induction [13], modeling the proposed architecture can significantly improve over its relational data [14], and several others. baseline, while similar improvements cannot be obtained by Like most neural networks, GCNs interleave linear layers, simply increasing the depth or size of the original GCN. wherein information is adaptively combined according to the topology of the graph, with nonlinear activation functions that I.

To this end, we enhance spatial convolutions (with a limited receptive field) on the the basic GCN model by extending KAFs for the activation image, thus increasing parameter sharing and lowering their functions of the filters.

Unfortunately, different from the traditional Fourier transform, each graph exhibits a different graph Fourier transform. Therefore to analyze the graph-frequency domain properties of a graph signal, the graph Fourier modes and graph frequencies must be computed for the graph under study. Although to find these graph frequencies and modes, a computationally expensive, or even prohibitive, eigendecomposition of the graph is required, there exist families of graphs that have properties that could be exploited for an approximate fast graph spectrum computation. In this work, we aim to identify these families and to provide a divide-and-conquer approach for computing an approximate spectral decomposition of the graph. Using the same decomposition, results on reducing the complexity of graph filtering are derived. These results provide an attempt to leverage the underlying topological properties of graphs in order to devise general computational models for graph signal processing.

    Convolutional Neural Networks on Graphs with Fast Localized Spectral Filtering Michaël Defferrard Xavier Bresson Pierre Vandergheynst EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland {michael.defferrard,xavier.bresson,pierre.vandergheynst}@epfl.ch Abstract In this work, we are interested in generalizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) from low-dimensional regular grids, where image, video and speech are represented, to high-dimensional irregular domains, such as social networks, brain connectomes or words’ embedding, represented by graphs. We present a formu- lation of CNNs in the context of spectral graph theory, which provides the nec- essary mathematical background and efficient numerical schemes to design fast localized convolutional filters on graphs.

Experiments on MNIST and 20NEWS demonstrate the ability of this novel deep learning system to learn local, stationary, and compositional features on graphs. 1 Introduction Convolutional neural networks [19] offer an efficient architecture to extract highly meaningful sta- tistical patterns in large-scale and high-dimensional datasets. The ability of CNNs to learn local stationary structures and compose them to form multi-scale hierarchical patterns has led to break- throughs in image, video, and sound recognition tasks [18]. Precisely, CNNs extract the local sta- tionarity property of the input data or signals by revealing local features that are shared across the data domain. These similar features are identified with localized convolutional filters or kernels, which are learned from the data. Convolutional filters are shift- or translation-invariant filters, mean- ing they are able to recognize identical features independently of their spatial locations.

  • GSPBOX: a Toolbox for Signal Processing on Graphs
    GSPBOX: A toolbox for signal processing on graphs Nathanael Perraudin, Johan Paratte, David Shuman, Lionel Martin Vassilis Kalofolias, Pierre Vandergheynst and David K. Hammond March 16, 2016 Abstract This document introduces the Graph Signal Processing Toolbox (GSPBox) a framework that can be used to tackle graph related problems with a signal processing approach. It explains the structure and the organization of this software. It also contains a general description of the important modules. 1 Toolbox organization In this document, we briefly describe the different modules available in the toolbox. For each of them, the main functions are briefly described. This chapter should help making the connection between the theoretical concepts introduced in [7, 9, 6] and the technical documentation provided with the toolbox. We highly recommend to read this document and the tutorial before using the toolbox. The documentation, the tutorials and other resources are available on-line1. The toolbox has first been implemented in MATLAB but a port to Python, called the PyGSP, has been made recently. As of the time of writing of this document, not all the functionalities have been ported to Python, but the main modules are already available. In the following, functions prefixed by [M]: refer to the MATLAB implementation and the ones prefixed with [P]: refer to the Python implementation. 1.1 General structure of the toolbox (MATLAB) The general design of the GSPBox focuses around the graph object [7], a MATLAB structure containing the necessary infor- mations to use most of the algorithms. By default, only a few attributes are available (see section 2), allowing only the use of a subset of functions.

    1 Multi-dimensional Graph Fourier Transform Takashi Kurokawa, Non-Member, IEEE, Taihei Oki, Non-Member, IEEE, and Hiromichi Nagao, Non-Member, IEEE Abstract—Many signals on Cartesian product graphs appear in the real world, such as digital images, sensor observation time series, and movie ratings on Netflix. These signals are “multi- 0.3 dimensional” and have directional characteristics along each factor graph. However, the existing graph Fourier transform 0.2 does not distinguish these directions, and assigns 1-D spectra to signals on product graphs. Further, these spectra are often 0.1 multi-valued at some frequencies. Our main result is a multi- dimensional graph Fourier transform that solves such problems 0.0 associated with the conventional GFT. Using algebraic properties of Cartesian products, the proposed transform rearranges 1- 0.1 D spectra obtained by the conventional GFT into the multi- dimensional frequency domain, of which each dimension repre- 0.2 sents a directional frequency along each factor graph. Thus, the multi-dimensional graph Fourier transform enables directional 0.3 frequency analysis, in addition to frequency analysis with the conventional GFT. Moreover, this rearrangement resolves the (a) multi-valuedness of spectra in some cases. The multi-dimensional graph Fourier transform is a foundation of novel filterings and stationarities that utilize dimensional information of graph signals, which are also discussed in this study. The proposed 1 methods are applicable to a wide variety of data that can be 10 regarded as signals on Cartesian product graphs. This study 3 also notes that multivariate graph signals can be regarded as 2- 10 D univariate graph signals.

  • Graph Wavelet Neural Network

Different from graph Fourier transform, graph wavelet transform can be obtained via a fast algorithm without requiring matrix eigendecomposition with high computational cost. Moreover, graph wavelets are sparse and localized in vertex domain, offering high efficiency and good interpretability for graph con- volution. The proposed GWNN significantly outperforms previous spectral graph CNNs in the task of graph-based semi-supervised classification on three bench- mark datasets: Cora, Citeseer and Pubmed. 1 INTRODUCTION Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) (LeCun et al., 1998) have been successfully used in many machine learning problems, such as image classification (He et al., 2016) and speech recogni- tion (Hinton et al., 2012), where there is an underlying Euclidean structure. The success of CNNs lies in their ability to leverage the statistical properties of Euclidean data, e.g., translation invariance. However, in many research areas, data are naturally located in a non-Euclidean space, with graph or network being one typical case. The non-Euclidean nature of graph is the main obstacle or chal- lenge when we attempt to generalize CNNs to graph.

  • An Exposition of Spectral Graph Theory
    An Exposition of Spectral Graph Theory Mathematics 634: Harmonic Analysis David Nahmias [email protected] Abstract Recent developments have led to an interest to characterize signals on connected graphs to better understand their harmonic and geometric properties. This paper explores spectral graph theory and some of its applications. We show how the 1-D Graph Laplacian, DD, can be related to the Fourier Transform by its eigenfunctions which motivates a natural way of analyzing the spectrum of a graph. We begin by stating the Laplace-Beltrami Operator, D, in a general case on a Riemann manifold. The setting is then discretized to allow for formulation of the graph setting and the corresponding Graph Laplacian, DG. Further, an exposition on the Graph Fourier Transform is presented. Operations on the Graph Fourier Transform, including convolution, modulation, and translation are presented. Special attention is given to the equivalences and differences of the classical translation operation and the translation operation on graphs. Finally, an alternate formulation of the Graph Laplacian on meshes, DM, is presented, with application to multi-sensor signal analysis.

Background and Motivation lassical Fourier analysis has found many important results and applications in signal analysis. Traditionally, Fourier analysis is defined on continuous, R, or discrete, Z, domains.

In this setting the domain also contains geometric information that may be useful in analysis.

It is a challenging problem as one needs to consider both intra-series temporal correlations and inter-series correlations simultaneously. Recently, there have been multiple works trying to capture both correlations, but most, if not all of them only capture temporal correlations in the time domain and resort to pre-defined priors as inter-series relationships. In this paper, we propose Spectral Temporal Graph Neural Network (StemGNN) to further improve the accuracy of multivariate time-series forecasting. StemGNN captures inter-series correlations and temporal dependencies jointly in the spectral domain. It combines Graph Fourier Transform (GFT) which models inter-series correlations and Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) which models temporal de- pendencies in an end-to-end framework. After passing through GFT and DFT, the spectral representations hold clear patterns and can be predicted effectively by convolution and sequential learning modules. Moreover, StemGNN learns inter- series correlations automatically from the data without using pre-defined priors. We conduct extensive experiments on ten real-world datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of StemGNN. 1 Introduction Time-series forecasting plays a crucial role in various real-world scenarios, such as traffic forecasting, supply chain management and financial investment.

  • Graph Based Convolutional Neural Network
    EDWARDS, XIE: GRAPH CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK 1 Graph Based Convolutional Neural Network Michael Edwards Swansea University Swansea, UK Xianghua Xie http://www.csvision.swan.ac.uk Abstract The benefit of localized features within the regular domain has given rise to the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in machine learning, with great proficiency in the image classification. The use of CNNs becomes problematic within the irregular spatial domain due to design and convolution of a kernel filter being non-trivial. One so- lution to this problem is to utilize graph signal processing techniques and the convolution theorem to perform convolutions on the graph of the irregular domain to obtain feature map responses to learnt filters. We propose graph convolution and pooling operators analogous to those in the regular domain. We also provide gradient calculations on the input data and spectral filters, which allow for the deep learning of an irregular spatial do- main problem. Signal filters take the form of spectral multipliers, applying convolution in the graph spectral domain. Applying smooth multipliers results in localized convo- lutions in the spatial domain, with smoother multipliers providing sharper feature maps. Algebraic Multigrid is presented as a graph pooling method, reducing the resolution of the graph through agglomeration of nodes between layers of the network. Evaluation of performance on the MNIST digit classification problem in both the regular and irregu- lar domain is presented, with comparison drawn to standard CNN. The proposed graph CNN provides a deep learning method for the irregular domains present in the machine learning community, obtaining 94.23% on the regular grid, and 94.96% on a spatially irregular subsampled MNIST.
